The Queen: An Anthill-Shaped Poem For Kids

This is the story of the queen ant. But is it really? Research ants, their colonies, and the queen. Does she lazily drink sweet tea all day? I bet you can find the truth about this spoken poem. Teachers, what a great starting point for a lesson on poetry and ants! Can the kids make a poem shaped like a beehive? Or one like a bird’s nest? Or even a poem shaped like a house!

This spoken poem is about an apple tree that was in my yard as a kid. In fact, it’s still there. Shasta and i really did eat apples from it, too.
